    Having watched the fight, I find it incredible that people can consider it a possibility. Foreman says he felt odd, faint. Well his fight plan consisted of throwing huge amounts of punches at a target he wasn't hurting enough to make the effort worth it in a tropical ****ing jungle.

    Whilst getting countered with hard shots.

    They SHOULD have drugged him.

    "I was drugged alright. Muhammed gave me a dose of that big right hand. He won fair and square"

    George Foreman speaking in 'Muhammed Ali - His Life and Times' by Thomas Hauser, 1991, p278

    I've heard George exhault Ali many, many times. Then 30 years later he thinks he's drugged? George seems to generally be a great guy, but he's by no means a credible source. He tried to overwhelm Ali like he did everyone else but couldn't. Ali then stopped him.

    Ali beat him up from round one. He barely missed a punch. His shots were staright as an arrow. IMO Foreman was hardly in the fight.

    in a lot of great conspiracies there is no pure concrete evidence to back it up. look at the kennedy assasination. what linking evidence is there to believe that he was killed by certain forces

    DONT GET ME WRONG

    I believe that ALi still had the skills and toughness to beat George.

    But the general corruptness of boxing and the business world makes me believe that this conspiracy was a strong possibility

    I know people who believe that Moorer took a dive in 1994 against Foreman. I cannot dismiss this as BULL****

    I doubt even Foreman truly believes he was drugged he just wants an excuse
